Yang Pertama by Mus Mudjiono
This is arguably Mus Mudjiono's most successful album. The songwriting is prime Mus Mudjiono, the guitar work is excellent and the supporting cast of musicians amongst the very best of Indonesian 70's/80' scene, with names involved such as Candra Darusman, Jack Lesmana, Krakatau's founding members Pra Budidharma, Dwiki Daramawan, Indra Lesmana and Gilang Ramadhan and other greats like Erwin Gutawa and Younky Soewarno. The first two songs carry also the signature of famed songwriter Oddie Agam, responsible for more than a hit single in the Indonesia of those days.
The songs "Tanda-Tanda" ('Marks'), "Arti Kehidupan" ('The Meaning of Life') and "Yang Pertama" ('The First One') are sheer Nono's classics and major hits.
In the song "Satu Dalam Cita" Andi Meriem Mattalatta provides the female voice for a heartfelt ballad.
The album also marks the discovery of Nono as the great singer he is, while, prior to this one, he was renowned mostly for his distinguished guitar skills.
